Learn your instrument. Be honest. Don't do anything phony. There is so much crap floating around. There is plenty of room for a bit of honest writing.

I want to go out and do things... not just stick around having room service for two days.

Since there's only room for me to write a few songs on each band album, I really have to use my songs. But on my own album I had room to use songs I wanted.

If you're playing on a soft-sounding instrument like a Rhodes, you're not going to write honky-tonk raucous rock and roll. The character of the instrument will be imbedded in whatever you write.

It's such a diva thing, but I need one room for my suitcases and one for me.
